Begin your trip with a leisurely stroll around Mall Road, Shimla's most iconic street, full of souvenir shops, restaurants, and street performances. After lunch, head to the Christ Church, a neo-Gothic style building, and one of the oldest churches in Northern India for its stunning architecture as well as a scenic view of Shimla.
Experience the rich history and heritage of Shimla on a guided walking tour. Visit the famous landmarks such as Gaiety Theatre, Scandal Point, and Ridge Maidan, built during the colonial era. End your day at the Viceregal Lodge, the residence of the British Viceroy during the summers, and marvel at its beautiful Gothic architecture.
Pump up your adrenaline by indulging in adventure sports activities like paragliding, river rafting, or rappelling in Kufri Adventure Resort. A perfect setting with lush green valleys and snow-capped mountains. End your day by chilling out with locally brewed beer at the Lion Brewery, established in 1855, the oldest brewery in India.
Explore the spiritual side of Shimla with a visit to the Jakhu Temple, dedicated to Lord Hanuman, the monkey God. This temple is situated at a hilltop, and you can enjoy the sweeping views of Shimla city from there. In the evening, catch a movie at the Ritz Cinema, one of India's oldest cinemas, known for its comfortable seating and regal interiors.
If you have more time to spare, we recommend visiting the Tara Devi Temple, Chail, or taking a toy train ride through Himalayan mountains. If you have less time, you may avoid adventure sports activities and beer and use your time to explore Shimla's market areas. Note that some places like the Jakhu Temple and the Ritz Cinema may have entry restrictions and may get crowded. Plan accordingly.
